STRANGE CAT PEOPLE
LITTLE RED ROOSTER'S
ON THE PROWL
Live in Vancouver 1970
is a two-disc
live album by
the American rock band
It was recorded at
the Pacific Coliseum
in Vancouver,
British Columbia,
on
June 6, 1970.
The band were joined
by guitar legend
Albert King
on four songs;
Willie Dixon’s
"Little Red Rooster",
the Motown classic
"Money"
and the
blues standards
"Rock Me"
and
"Who Do You Love?".
The concert was four months
into the band's 1970
Roadhouse Blues Tour.
Vince Treanor,
the Doors’ tour manager,
recorded the show
for the band on a
Sony reel-to-reel machine
using two microphones
placed on the stage.
While not a
multi track
high fidelity recording,
it is a clean,
quiet and clear recording.
The album was released
from the
Bright Midnight
Archives collection
which contains a
number of
previously unreleased
live concerts
by
the Doors.
Ray Manzarek,
the Doors' keyboardist
recalled the concert as
"A large audience,
lights shining in my eyes,
can't see the audience...
The Doors
are excited because
Albert King
is coming onstage,
so we played great.
Then Albert comes on,
and we played even better.
We played dark and deep
and funky.
Morrison was just
transfixed by
Albert King's
manual dexterity
and adroitness
on the guitar,
so he was in
blues-boy heaven.
